BONGO COMICS FOR AUGUST

BART SIMPSON COMICS #74

Written by Sergio Aragones and various, art by John Delaney and various, cover by Jason Ho, Mike Rote.

Lisa uses Bart as a guinea pig to try out her hypothesis about the effects of "Decision Fatigue." Then, Bart goes to camp and quickly gets lost in the wilderness. And did you ever wonder everyone in Springfield thinks of Bart? Well, you're about to find out! Plus, Sergio Aragones "Maggie's Crib."

Long before Bart Simpson appeared on the scene, Springfield had its own original "bad boy" -- the dim but adorable Li'l Homer. And you can be sure wherever Li'l Homer goes, trouble follows. Whether he's just trying to fly a kite, searching for a lost donut, or matching wits with a real mean genie, Li'l Homer always comes out on top!

In a tale neither fit for man nor animal, Homer Simpson becomes televison's newest reality star as his bottomless appetite and cast iron stomach are put to the test and pushed to the limits week after week on "Man Vs. Best Vs. Food." Eventually, something's gotta give, and we're talking more than a couple belt notches.

32 pages, $2.99.

Patrick and SpongeBob go on a frenzied 3 AM quest for hidden candy in "Night Sweets." Then in "Dear Diary," Squidward's suggestion that Patrick start a journal results in daily misery -- for Squidward! SpongeBob forgets to wear his square pants to work, and thus begins "The Big Cover-Up." And what is the secret of the new delicious sauce at the Krusty Krab? Find out in "Patrick's Sauce," but be prepared to gag just a little bit. All this plus a cover pin-up to drool for and step-by-step instructions by James Kochalka on how not to draw SpongeBob.
